can simultaneously serve as extremely attractive decorative elements that emphasize the warmth of the room and bring the atmosphere to a whole new level. Wool carpets are regarded as highly durable, and they’re also strong thermal isolators that fall into the category of ecological carpets. As far as the decorative dimension goes, wool carpets also have plenty of value, but there are some flaws that come with them. Wool carpets are often very thick and heavy, which makes them the ideal surface for collecting dust and mites. They are also not very convenient for people that have the tendency to be allergic to animal hair. Although they can be cleaned by vacuuming relatively easily, they can collect a lot of dust during a prolonged period of time, while “wet” cleaning can provide them with an uncomfortable odour for quite some time, which makes regular cleaning a necessity. However, due to the fact that wool carpets have a warm and pleasant effect, some flaws ought to be forgiven. Besides wool carpets and those made from synthetic fabrics, what’s almost just as popular today are carpets and decorative covers made of cane and bamboo, and they are produced by mechanical embroidery of thin laminas. Carpets of cane and bamboo laminas excellently adjust to all spaces that are dominated by a slightly oriental style, but they look just as good even when they’re combined with modern furniture and the currently popular minimalist approach to decorating and furnishing space. These models are very convenient to all rooms because they are maintained very easily. Thanks to a straight and relatively smooth surface, bamboo and cane carpets don’t collect or hold on to dust, are very light and can be taken outside and simply given a good shake; they are also easily vacuumed, and they are very good at handling being cleaned with wet mops. It’s also been easy lately to find surfaces made of coconut fabrics that are very attractive, but they are often coated with pesticides, so before you decide on buying them, make sure to take a close look of the declaration to be certain that the manufacturer meets all the ecological conditions. Interiors Nanimarquina In the World of Fairytales – Hand-Woven Carpets Considering the fact that one square metre of a handwoven carpet requires several weeks of work, which leads to as much time as two years if we’re talking about multicoloured carpets, it is no wonder that they achieve the highest prices and stand for the peak of luxury. Hand-woven carpets are accessible only to the wealthiest among us, and depending on the type, method of production and the material, their prices are reaching the heights of several dozens thousands of euros. Hand-woven carpets bring the ambience of exotic countries, and their ornaments and details reflect ancient traditions of countries like Iran, India, Afghanistan, Turkey, Ka<strong>za</strong>khstan etc. There are numerous techniques of weaving and knitting, and their details are often abstract or faithfully transmit scenes from the flora and fauna of Eastern countries. Just an expensive decoration that will bring warmth to your home? Not at all! Hand-woven carpets are much more than that. They are genuine works of art that have a remarkably high value. If you decide on buying a hand-woven carpet, position it to a visible place and don’t put any furniture over it to avoid any possible damage. Maintaining and Cleaning a Carpet Regardless of whether we’re talking about a carpet made of synthetic fabrics, coconut fabrics or a thick wool carpet, they all demand to be maintained. Besides dust, mites also represent a big problem because they like to crawl under the carpets as well as inside them, similar to the way they often invade beds and seating ensembles. Dust and mites are best prevented by regular and thorough vacuuming, and the absolute best results are guaranteed by vacuum cleaners that don’t use classic filter bags, but rather use water that makes it impossible for dust to return into the room. After the vacuuming, you simply pour the water into the drain, while the tank can be cleaned very easily. If it is regularly vacuumed, any carpet is bound to be clean and tidy, but don’t forget that it is just as important to maintain the lower side of the carpet. 91
